Join us LIVE as Avi and Lisa speak with a special guest at ArchLIGHT Summit!

Light Reach proves that electricity poverty does not have to equate with light poverty.

The model developed by the global solar lighting design initiative Light Reach uses an affordable, replicable and rapidly deployable project model that brings together lighting experts, local users and partners in collaborative design processes. Lit outdoor public spaces support communities’ social, cultural and recreational livelihood, increase well-being and reduce the negative impact of light poverty.

Light Reach is on a mission to advance lighting justice and foster a greater philanthropic culture in our industry: lighting professionals are well-positioned to bring positive social change and facilitate people’s access to light with impactful lighting initiatives that have real short- and long-term personal, educational and economic benefits.

This presentation will include programs in Puerto Rico and Lebanon as case studies and related topics for field research; showcase a path for lighting design activism to empower all with lighting equality; and propose what philanthropy, social engagement and corporate responsibility can look like in the international lighting community.

This workshop challenges the notion that daylight is irrelevant to lighting design. Contrary to the belief that lighting systems need to be optimized for nighttime conditions, we demonstrate how daylighting can enhance your lighting design, reduce energy consumption, and be profitable in doing so. Participants will engage in intuitive exercises and use daylight metrics to explore the impact of daylight on their lighting designs. This course will empower designers to use their own intuition without being encumbered with complex software. Join us to reconceptualize daylight for lighting design and learn how to profit from it effectively.
